Finds are from a Wednesday vacation day hunt and a Saturday partial day hunt.
The half dollar was on edge and initially read like a quarter until I swept the coil from the other direction and it gave me half dollar readings.
I was excited to see the large silver in the hole as they don't come up often anymore.
The Lone scout pin was a very deep blip of a signal. That pin is circa 1916 as the Lone Scouts merged with Boy Scouts in 1924.
The silver religious medals are some of the nicest I have found and the triangle shaped one has some very good weight to it.
The Anchor pin had good depth (8+ inches) and must have some good age.
The "For Progress In Writing" is a 1930s pin made by the Balfour Company to promote the Palmer method of cursive writing.
Hitting a variety of items that make me do some research to determine what they are is one of the most exciting parts of detecting other than the thrill of the hunt.
All finds were made at public city parks and schools. NEL Thunder coil was used. I have been sticking with that this year as I really like the Separation + Depth.
